RT one thing you might consider, is simply using a smaller, typical 1 1/2-3hp single phase compressor for some of the smaller jobs. It would likely be more efficient overall.
I did not realize it was a screw, which I would guess would lighten the starting load considerably.
I like that idea. In fact, I’ve been using my little 20 gallon I brought from home. It’s a great compressor and fills fast, just lacking in the CFM that I’ll need the screw compressor for.
I just double checked, and the screw compressor is a 20HP, not 25 like I thought. Doesn’t change things TOO much, but we shall see how it goes.
